A Florida State junior college recruit has been arrested for allegedly eating marijuana in order to conceal it from police.

Power forward Cinmeon Bowers, who committed to Florida State in September, and two of his teammates at Chipola College in Marianna, Fla., were arrested Thursday night following a traffic stop.

According to the Marianna Police Department, officers smelled marijuana coming from the car after the vehicle was pulled over for a speeding violation.

Bowers, 20, and Chipola teammates Torian Graham, 20, and Jamaar McKay-Taylor, 19, ate the marijuana in an attempt to conceal it from the officers, according to the police statement. They were charged with tampering with evidence and taken to the Jackson County Correctional Facility.

All three players have been suspended indefinitely by Chipola College until the legal process plays out, coach Patrick Blake told ESPN.

Florida State coach Leonard Hamilton told ESPN he will allow the process to play out regarding Bowers.

"I will wait until I get all the complete information," Hamilton told ESPN.
The 6-foot-6 Bowers is widely considered to be one of the top junior college prospects in the country.

Graham has taken visits to Missouri and UNLV, while Kentucky, Cincinnati and Alabama have also expressed interest.

In all honesty this kid could do some good things under Frank Martin. At 6'7" 260 he reminds me of a more talented Antoine Tisby. We could definitely use him and what better disciplinarian than Frank Martin to straighten out any character flaws.

The tampering with evidence charge is laughable. Also, when are kids going to learn that riding in a car is the worst possible place to drink or smoke pot. Geez, just find a quiet place like a park or something and get stoned.

OK, cheers. I have no problem with us offering him. One thing is for sure, if we don't get him, Bruce Pearl will serve pot brownies with topless waitresses during his visit to the plains. Get his ass in Columbia, Frank!

Does that mean that they will not continue pursue these two, or that they will not be offering anyone else?

Not sure that's why I quoted their words, "at this moment in time".
No news of any new offers but TBS expects they will have interest in transferring players looking to add experienced talent for '15-16 season. No specific names mentioned.
